Hello, I would like to know if anyone is a patient of Dr. Korman in Marina Del Rey. I had a consultation with him and I just wanted to swap experiences

I had a consultation with him in 2009. He was great and I liked his staff too. Unfortunately it turned out that he was no longer on my insurance. I was really bummed. :(

Dr. Korman made me feel very comfortable during the consultation. What did you think of him?

I met with him and I really did like him. I wasnt too happy with the office. If was really shabby. I cant find the right words for it. It was dark in there. when i first walked in i was ready to leave. On top of being nervous i initially wasnt comfortable. i decided to tough it out and meet him. i didnt want to judge a book by its cover.. it was explained to me that the office was part of the hospital and he just worked out of it. So i stayed for the appoinment. He communicates well and was willing to meet me half way with the guidelines that i have. I dont have to "diet" but i do have to attempt to "low carb" it to "condition" my body for the surgery. I also have to do the psych and nutrionist, and a sleep study. when all is said and done im spending about 1500 out of pocket. overall , i am happy that i stayed and met with him. he explained things well, and was too the point. He seemed sincere and supportive. He answered all of my questions with out making me feel as though i was over reacting.

Yes, you are right, the office was dark, poor lighting. And, since I ended up going to 4 different surgeons before I found one that fulfilled BOTH criteria for my insurance: 1) That the doctor was in-network; and 2) the doc was affiliated with a hospital that was in-network - I had a chance to see the good, bad and the not so pretty. LOL I also agree that Dr. Korman was worth the wait.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
